Here's a legit question to all who have said that you either wouldn't accept the gay guy into your church or would talk to him about his sin...
This is a legit question that I've wondered about...
Is eating bacon a sin?
Do you have tattoos?
???
Cussed your mom or dad under your breath as a teenager?
Worked on Sunday?
How's your wife feel about this?
Like shrimp? Crabs?
Had sex before marriage?
And the biggie.....if being gay is immoral and wrong what about the # of people in the land (probably some of you) who've had a DIVORCE?
Now to be clear, I am not trying to contradict anyone or serve up a "gotcha" moment. I'm legitimately confused by this stuff as a Christian. I fully acknowledge that the Bible says that homosexuality is immoral. I can read that plain as day. But do we just ignore these other things that ARE ALSO in the Bible?

Leviticus 11:7-8 reads: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Is eating bacon a sin?
Leviticus 19:28 states: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Do you have tattoos?
Leviticus 19:27 states: Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Exodus 31:14-15 states: "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Worked on Sunday?
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 states: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
How's your wife feel about this?
Leviticus 10-11 states: And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 states: But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the CensoredCensoredCensoredCensoredCensored in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you
